You don't have to be all that perceptive to know that I am kind of a crazed fan of empty frames (see exhibit A and exhibit B) so when I saw this next project on Living with Lindsay, my heart skipped a beat.
I love, love, love it.
Using a mish mash of frames found at Goodwill...
...she made a beautiful, sculptural, conversation piece.
I am kicking myself for walking away from so many cheapo frames at flea markets because I didn't have a use for them.
Check out Living with Lindsay for all the details on this project as well as lots more!

**If you have an idea/tutorial you would like me to consider for a feature, email me. I'd love to see!
WOW! I'm just hitting the home stretch on my downstairs wall gallery--and now you've given me an entirely new project to start! So cool! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yea...that's good.
ReplyDeleteThat's such an awesome idea! I'll have to keep that one in mind. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteJust saw that picture on Pinterest last night - love it!! Thanks for sharing the original links...

ReplyDeleteEmpty frames make me happy!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is cute and cheap! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHello.. your empty frames look really lovely. We have recently re-painted our lounge / living area and made a feature wall with frames that we made from old reclaimed wood. The aim was to have photos in them but we haven't got around to doing that just yet and the frames actually look so lovely just as they are on the wall, empty. Take a look at our blog post and let me know what you think? :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to add your blog to the list of blogs I follow on my blog :)
Take Care

I guess its being a new grand pa, I see an empty frame and i immediately want to fill it. However I love your Idea, so many frames and so little time ... so why not !!!!! Steve Staples @ http://www.CreativeArtFurniture.com
ReplyDeleteI love how she layered these! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love me an open frame or twenty, too. This is a very cool use. Love the glazing too.
ReplyDeleteThis might actually be pretty awesome to do with pictures in the frames, too! It might take some doing to get the frames to stay layered without disrupting the actual glass and images too much, but I think it could look really cool with some similar black and whites...
ReplyDeleteReally interesting and budget friendly idea. Something to keep in mind for a future project!
ReplyDeleteEek! LOVE this. I would have yard saled/dumpster dove with a whole new sense of purpose if I'd seen this pre-summer!
